Show Summary
At the top of today’s podcast, Adam talks about noticing a pattern of all the Top Books on Amazon, as well as his obsession with watching reruns of ‘The Love Boat’. Eric Stromer then joins the line and talks about his dance instructor dad before answering some home improvement questions. Gina also reads news stories about how the NBA is handling the Coronavirus, the Trump/Goya controversy, and famous celebrities getting their Twitter accounts hacked. Before the break, Adam explains why you can’t fake things anymore, and Gina reads a couple more news stories about officers injured during a protest on the Brooklyn Bridge, and more on the Johnny Depp / Amber Heard trial.
Adam welcomes Bjorn Lomborg to the podcast for a one-on-one conversation. They talk for a while about the realities of global warming, and how fixing our climate is also about getting people out of poverty. Later they talk about what it would cost to switch to alternative power sources, and why climate change panic is costing us even more. Later they talk about exaggerating statistics to make people scared, promising new technologies on the horizon, and thoughts on the environmental impact of electric cars. Before the break, they talk about the impact of shutting everything down for Coronavirus, why going Vegetarian won’t help as much as you think, and thoughts on people trying to dictate your life to you. Be sure to stick around for today’s Good Sports!
